First thing you notice about Anastasiya Lazurenko is a contrast of her delicate, frail frame and the sharpness of her manner. I enter a surreal scene in one of the photographer’s abodes – she splits her time between India, Russia, Ukraine and the UK. “Home? What is it? This concept is as meaningless as a…

He is a Puck. A charming, dexterous dare-devil of a man. At the airport our small talk turns naturally to the Swiss mountains: “My house is opposite the most beautiful female mountain in Switzerland”, he offers carelessly, leaving me to puzzle over gender. “It’s hard to explain, we learn these things at school.” He starts…

He is an arresting hybrid: a knife throwing, intellectual, multidisciplinary artist. A polymath operating under the disarming nom de plume ‘Vivian Seabright’. It also doesn’t hurt to mention his striking resemblance to Humphrey Bogart circa 1936. We met to talk about Seabright’s experience with ceramic and glass and, of course, the compelling art of knife…

Daria Svertilova is a 19-year-old female photographer from Odessa, Ukraine. Using her camera, she paints portraits of modern youth with, for her age, an unusually serious consideration for form and content. “Young men” is a signature subject of Daria’s work. Captured with Daria’s clever eye on medium format film, a balance is struck between the…

In this installment of Foto Friday, each photographer offers a moment of reflection. Perhaps a moment of truth. But remain the inquistive child you once were. Not everything the light touches is real, sometimes you need to close your eyes and surround yourself with darkness to truly see. This weekend, be weary of images. Especially your own….

If you’ve ever wondered what makes a man tremble with fear, you need look no further than the mysterious realm of horror movies. By now, you should know the horror of certain images lives simply in your mind. Fear of the unknown, the undead, the unassuming. As most horror movies are directed by men, it’s no wonder women and…

“Slowly exhaling, the young artist is standing at a heavy drawing table and is drawing an uninterrupted line from top to bottom on a thick white sheet of paper with a wide felt-tip pen. He repeats this in always the same distance and width until it covers the complete sheet. He breathes regularly, but still…

More often then not, we find ourselves waking up at 7 AM and making the trek to a job we really have no business doing. We leave our hearts at the door, and with it the fourteen-year-old self we promised a life of magic, beekeeping, that full-time larping gig. In the award-winning series, Work-Life Balance, Toronto-based artist…

We live in a time of constant war, financial fallout, flippant extinction, an entire society governed by SEO and engined by terror, cosmetic manipulation in utero, celebrity worship, athlete worship, religious mayhem and the death of God, fear of police, fear of everything; our children can DM terrorists on Twitter, fly to Istanbul and cross into…

You’ve driven down city freeways, seen the murals, and made some questionable driving decisions to take an Instagram-worthy picture. Here in Los Angeles, our filter is called smog, and our hashtag is #GoForth. Forth Magazine is a publication for the modern art enthusiast. We're an art journal that caters to the 21st Century eye, pulling from prints you'd see in photography magazines to illicit installations you'd catch street side. We find artists who get what it means to growl forward into the next generation of expression, and we put their art online right here. We’ve got painters, photographers, sculptors, and filmmakers. We’re an art magazine that shows every gritty and glamorized part of Los Angeles or New York or Bali or your backyard, or the less tangible thing that is the mess inside an artist's mind. You don’t have to be from L.A. to love FORTH artists. We're just here to remind our readers that Los Angeles continues to be a place where incredible art is discovered, curated and published. And though we're based in L.A., our exhibitions are not exclusive to local art. FORTH is always looking to expand our online art gallery fro fine artists around the world. We're gaining an extensive art portfolio for the digital art fanatic and giving you an exclusive inside look. Check out the posts, leave a comment, or tweet us what you think. Submit your work to art@forthmagazine.com.
